what breed of hens are most likely to be broody?

Only one of my "Rainbow Layers" that went broody was a Partridge Rock and she sat for over 4 weeks.

I'm always
Looking in the pen and boxes for some broody gals but can't get any I have 2 black australorps a buff brahma hen and a buff brahma rooster any tips on what i can do about that all the hens are about 16 to 20 months old and they all lay 1 egg per day except in the winter. All hens and the rooster are (Bantems).

I don't know of a way to make a hen go broody. You could try separating one of the Australorps out and putting her in a smaller pen with a solid floor with a nest. In the nest, try putting some "decoy" eggs- ceramic or wood. The quiet confinement away from the male you have might encourage her. There's been a broody outbreak at my house with my best Jersey Giant hen and just about every Australorp I own going broody at the same time, so I have the opposite problem- trying to break up my broodies!
